Having seen the highlights on EL Weekly, the crowd for the Bohs game on Friday alone had to be above 3,000. The opposite side to the main stand had a good crowd in it.

Maribor - have you got the official attendance for it yet ?

Limerick's actual biggest attendance of the season was the close on 4,000 who showed up to watch Limerick F.C. v Leeds United Reserves

Don't you just hate this country sometimes

Similarly more than 3,000 were at our 2nd game v Rovers a few weeks back, I thought most agreed it was between 3,300 + 3,500.

Also I`d say every other first div club had their highest crowd for the visit of Rovers.

**Mr A** · 12/10/2006, 12:21 PM

Not us- I think our biggest league crowd was for the first game against Kilkenny.

**Sam Savic** · 12/10/2006, 8:44 PM

Shamrock Rovers V Limerick on 9th October: official attendance was 1014.

Just what is the point of your post? 1,014 is higher than your season average. I'd wager that it's higher than any game you've ever had against Limerick, higher than any game you've had on a Monday night, and definitely higher than any game against Limerick you've had on a Monday night.

These "we've got more fans than you" pi�ing matches are a boring waste of time. You'd be better served trying to figure out how to get the 2,500 non-Rovers fans at our game down there to come back every week.

**oriel** · 13/10/2006, 7:23 AM

Correction on a post i put up under the first division run in thread.

Just reading a few more estimates on orielweb

Last night 1,300 for Dundalk v Athlone.

I'd say that goes without saying.... as they say " Rovers always bring a crowd" ....guess it proves yet again that the minnows love to try and beat us...we're the leagues most glamorous team..always have been and always will be...

100% spot on. This post should be a sticky at the top of this thread.

This was the first post, and I went with the 3000 from it. All the other Dundalk fans seem to be agreeing on 3500 though, so I'll up it to that.

**Conor H** · 13/10/2006, 2:54 PM

Stu same for our match v Rovers.There was definitley at least 3500 there but if you wan't to stick to the figure you have fair enough.Most papers in Galway reported 3500-4000 aswell.
